1 Summary
1.1 Valuation Schedule (Fiscal Year 2015)
The August 2015 Participation Report incorporates the results of an updated valuation (as at June 30,
2015) – the impact of the implementation of the valuation is discussed in section 1.2. The table
immediately below summarizes the implemented valuations and future scheduled valuations for
fiscal year 2015.

March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 would not reflect a full valuation update of assumptions,
but would rather “roll-forward” key assumptions from the previous valuation. As well, all valuations
are proposed to include all jurisdictions and business segments (private passenger and non-private
passenger).

1.2 New Valuation
1.2.a Valuation Results
A valuation of the Facility Association Residual Market (“FARM”) as at June 30, 2015 has been
completed for Private Passenger and non-Private Passenger business segments and all jurisdictions
since last month’s Participation Report. The valuation was completed by the Facility Association’s
internal actuarial group in conjunction with, and approved by, the Appointed Actuary, under the
hybrid model for actuarial services.
The key results of the valuation by jurisdiction and business segment are summarized in the table
immediately below (for indemnity only), indicating an overall favourable prior accident year
change of $7.7 million (2.4% of the unpaid claims liabilities selected at March 31, 2015), and
changes in the selected 2015 nominal indemnity ratios projected to result in an unfavourable
change of approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2015 (i.e. this latter estimate is in relation to
estimated full year earned premium).
June 30, 2015 Valuation Summary (Indemnity Only)
In the above table, the columns [1] through [3] highlight the changes in prior accident years’ results.
Changes to the 2015 accident year indemnity loss ratios are summarized in columns [4] through [6].
Finally, columns [7] through [9] summarize the changes in the 2016 indemnity loss ratios.
The valuation process continues to rely on three main actuarial methodologies – the expected loss
Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015

ratio method, the loss development method1, and the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method. The valuation
triangles are split by business segment (i.e. private passenger2 and non-private passenger), following
Member Sharing as per the Plan of Operation. The valuation triangles are directly reconcilable to
accident year / calendar year results for the FARM.
In general, the valuation data triangles are used directly in striking development factor selections by
coverage for each jurisdiction and each business segment. However, where the data is not deemed
credible or is deemed too volatile, or for other considerations, development factors may be struck
using data from another jurisdiction (for example, using Alberta factors for the northern territories),
or from industry data (via the loss development triangle data available from the General Insurance
Statistical Agency (“GISA”) through the Insurance Bureau of Canada (“IBC”)).
Final selection of IBNR was made at the coverage/accident-half year level, after consideration of the
results of the three methods identified above. This is consistent with the process followed for the
prior FARM valuation.
1.2.b Valuation Implementation
The implementation impact associated with this latest valuation is summarized in the table
immediately below (total impact is favourable by $10.5 million, or 2.1% of the $504.3 million
total member statement policy liabilities as at the end of last month). The valuation focused
separately on nominal results for indemnity (see column [1]) and the allowed claims adjustment
expenses for excess legal and for specific professional fees ratios (see column [3]). As the
retroactive adjustments for Servicing Carrier claims fees are derived directly from accident year
indemnity ratios to earned premium, these adjustments were updated to reflect the valuation results
as well (see column [2]). Changes in nominal values will generate changes in actuarial present value
adjustments, even if the discount rate and/or margins for adverse deviation are not changed. This
valuation also saw changes to the selected discount rate (but no change to the selected investment
rate margin), and claims development margins were updated at the jurisdiction / business
segment / coverage / accident half-year level. The total changes in actuarial present value
adjustments with the valuation implementation are shown in column [5].
Implementation Summary Table A ($000s)
1Also referred to as the chain ladder method or link ratio method.
2As per the Plan of Operation, the residual market business (i.e. not part of a Risk Sharing Pool or Uninsured Automobile
Fund) is segmented into “private passenger non-fleet” and “all other”. For convenience, the former is referred to as
“private passenger”.
Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 6 of 103
The “nominal” impacts (total in column [4] of the table at the bottom of the previous page) reflect
changes in the selected ultimate loss ratio (i.e. for each accident year, it is the product of life-to-date
earned premium for the accident year and the change in the selected ultimate loss ratio for indemnity
and for the allowed claims expenses for the claims liabilities; ultimate loss ratios are also taken into
account in determining the premium liabilities). Changes in selected nominal ultimate indemnity for
the most recent five prior accident years will generate changes to the retroactive claims fees
adjustments to Servicing Carriers (see column [2] of the table at the bottom of the previous page). In
addition, the selected ultimate ratio levels for allowed claims expenses (“excess legal”) are reviewed
annually with the June 30 valuation and were hence updated with this valuation, with the impact
shown in column [3] of the table at the bottom of the previous page.
In addition to the changes in the actuarial present value adjustments directly related to the changes in
selected nominal values, indemnity payment emergence patterns were updated and cash flows were
reviewed against the selected risk-free yield curve. The selected risk-free yield curve was derived
from Government of Canada benchmark bond yields monthly series using values for June 2015 (the
selected yield curve is anchored with the valuation date).
“Implementation Summary Table B” (at the top of the next page) summarizes, by jurisdiction, the
information shown in Table A (see previous page). In relating the two tables, the total for Table A
column [4] matches the total for Table B column [17], the sum of the total for Table A column [5]
matches the sum of the total for Table B columns [18] and [19] and [20], and the total for Table A
column [6] matches the total for Table B column [21].

Implementation Summary Table B3 ($000s)
The impact of the valuation on a nominal basis (that is, prior to actuarial present value adjustments),
is presented in Table A column [4] and Table B column [17], indicating a total favourable impact of
$5.3 million.
With respect to the actuarial present value adjustments prior to updating the discount rate and
margins, projected indemnity payment cash flows were updated for all jurisdictions and business
segments, using claim payment activity as at June 30, 2015 and ultimate selections from the latest
applicable valuations – these changes contributed an estimated favourable impact of $0.4 million
(see Table B, column [18]).
Based on updated risk-free yield rates and the updated projected cash flows, the selected discount
rate was increased by 28 basis points from 0.79% to 1.07%, resulting in an estimated favourable
impact of $3.2 million (see Table B, column [19]). This impact is in line with the $3.2 million
change one would estimate through interpolation using last month’s sensitivity table (see section 6, 3 Column [17] reflects the impact of changes in the valuation selected ultimates and column [18] reflects the impact of changes in
claims payment patterns (i.e. updated valuation selected ultimates with APVs based on unchanged selection of discount rates and
margins for adverse deviation). Column [19] reflects the impact of the change in the selected discount rate and column [20] reflects
the impact of any changes in selected margins for adverse deviations.

Exhibit “F” for examples of sensitivity to discount rate selection). Finally, while the selected
margin for investment return was left unchanged at 25 basis points, the margins selected for
claims development at the coverage / accident half-year level were updated with this valuation,
generating an overall favourable impact of $1.6 million (see Table B, column [20]).
“Implementation Summary Table C” (immediately below) summarizes the valuation impact relative
to year-to-date earned premium.
Implementation Summary Table C ($000s)
Finally, an updated projection to year-end with the new valuation assumptions is presented in
“Implementation Summary Table D” (immediately below), allowing comparison to the full year
projection included with the Outlook that was posted on December 10, 2014.
Implementation Summary Table D ($000s)
In total, the operating result projection to year-end has increased by $7.0 million from the Outlook
posted December 10, 2014 (to $24.5 million as shown above). This amount is $9.5 million higher
than it would have been, if not for the implementation of the June 30, 2015 valuation. (The changes
before the impact of the June 30, 2015 valuation are attributable to mix of business and other
projection assumptions outside of the valuation process, as well as previous valuations implemented
since the valuation used for the Outlook.)
One important change relative to the Outlook has been the reduction in the discount rate, offset
partially by the 25 basis point reduction in the interest rate margin for adverse deviation. Had the
Outlook discount rate of 1.63% and 50 basis point margin still been applicable, the operating result
would have been higher by $3.2 million (using the current interest rate sensitivity table and adjusting
the 1.63% to 1.38% to account roughly for the margin change). That is, the projected Operating
Result would have been approximately $27.7 million (COR of 86.0%) had the discount rate and
associated margin remained at the Outlook levels.

1.3 Appointed Actuary and Hybrid Actuarial Services Model
Liam McFarlane of Ernst & Young LLP is Facility Association’s Appointed Actuary (effective as of
June 1, 2013).
Facility Association operates under a “hybrid” model in relation to the management and provision of
actuarial services. Under this model, actuarial services are performed by both Facility Association’s
internal staff and its external actuarial consulting firm. The hybrid model approach maximizes the
efficiency of resource allocation while providing access to additional expertise and capacity as
needed.
1.4 Consideration of Recent Legal Decisions Changes in Legislation / Regulation4
Ontario Bill 65 (Prosperous and Fair Ontario Act (Budget Measures), 2013) was introduced into the
Legislature by the Minister of Finance on May 2, 2013, carried on June 11, 2013, and received Royal
Assent on June 13, 2013. The Bill implements measures contained in the 2013 Ontario Budget and
amends/enacts a number of provisions specifically related to the Automobile Insurance Rate
Stabilization Act, 2003 (AIRSA) and the Insurance Act. These include provisions implementing
reforms such as regulation of health care providers who invoice automobile insurers, making the
Superintendent’s Guidelines regarding the SABS binding, and expanding the investigative and
enforcement authority of the Superintendent, particularly in the area of fraud prevention.
Amendments to AIRSA were proclaimed in force effective August 16, 2013. Section 2.1 of AIRSA
establishes an industry-wide target rate reduction of 15 percent on average for the Personal Vehicles
— Private Passenger Automobile category of automobile insurance. The accompanying AIRSA
regulation sets a 2-year time frame for the target reduction. Section 2.1(7) of AIRSA requires
insurers specifically identify rating elements and discounts that reward safe drivers. Section 7 of
AIRSA authorizes the Superintendent to require an insurer to file an application for approval of its
rates and risk classification system. The impact of Bill 65 and the amendments to AIRSA was re-
assessed with the most recent valuation. The re-assessment concluded that specific adjustments to
the valuation assumptions were not required at the time, but the impact will be re-assessed at the
next valuation.
Ontario Bill 15 (Fighting Fraud and Reducing Automobile Insurance Rates Act, 2014) was
introduced into the Legislature by the Minister of Finance on July 15, 2014 and received Royal
Assent on November 20, 2014. Bill 15 includes various amendments and provisions such as,
moving the Ontario Automobile Dispute Resolution System (DRS) for statutory accident benefits
from the Financial Services Commission of Ontario to the Ministry of the Attorney General (Licence
Appeal Tribunal), regulation of the Tow and Storage Industry (amendments to the Consumer
Protection Act and Repair and Storage Liens Act), regulations related to licensing of insurance
agents and adjusters, changes the applicable interest rate applied to overdue payments in the
Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS), and changes to the prejudgement interest rate on
general damages for non-pecuniary loss from the rate as set out in the Courts of Justice Act to rates
linked to market conditions. At the June 30, 2015 valuation, a reform adjustment, specifically
related to changes in the non-pecuniary prejudgment interest provision calculation impacting the

bodily injury coverage, was included with the updated industry trend analysis (completed using
industry data as at December 31, 2014), impacting the selection of ultimates. The impact of Bill 15
will continue to be monitored and re-assessed at the next valuation as appropriate. In particular, we
anticipate that our analysis and formal assessment in relation to the changes to the applicable interest
rate applied to overdue payments in the SABS will be completed and implemented with the 2015 Q3
valuation.
Ontario Bill 91 (Building Ontario Up Act (Budget Measures), 2015) was introduced into the
Legislature by the Minister of Finance on April 23, 2015, and received Royal Assent on June 4,
2015. Bill 91 announced a number of amendments to regulations made under the Insurance Act,
including: updating the Catastrophic Impairment Definition and changes to the standard benefit level
under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS); restrictions on insurance premium increases
and lowering of the maximum interest rate charged on monthly auto insurance premium payments;
and adjustments to the monetary threshold beyond which the tort deductible does not apply to reflect
inflation (adjustments to reflect inflation in the associated tort deductible were undertaken via an
update to regulation 461/96). On August 26, 2015, the Ontario government filed Ontario regulations
250/15 and 251/15 implementing reforms set out in Bill 91. No specific adjustments have been
made to the current valuation assumptions based on Bill 91, but the impact will continue to be
monitored and re-assessed at the next valuation as appropriate. In particular, we anticipate that our
analysis and formal assessment in relation to changes in the tort deductible and monetary threshold
and changes impacting claims occurring and policies issued or renewed on or after June 1, 2016 will
be completed and implemented with the 2015 Q3 valuation.
Alberta Bill 39 (Enhancing Consumer Protection in Auto Insurance Act) was introduced into the
Legislature by the Minister of Finance on November 6, 2013, and received Royal Assent on
December 11, 2013. Bill 39 includes various amendments and provisions such as, allowing for both
mandatory and optional auto insurance premiums to be regulated by the independent Automobile
Insurance Rate Board (AIRB), the introduction of an Insurer file and approve system for premium
adjustments instead of an annual industry-wide rate adjustment, improved access to health care after
a collision and strengthened Insurance Company solvency requirements. No specific adjustments
have been made to the current valuation assumptions based on Bill 39, but the impact will continue
to be monitored and re-assessed at the next valuation as appropriate.
New Brunswick Regulation 2013-37 was filed on May 7, 2013, amending Regulation 2003-20
(Injury Regulation), made under the Insurance Act. The Regulation introduced a new Part 2 that
applies to all injuries arising from motor vehicle accidents occurring on or after July 1, 2013. The
new Part 2 re-defines “minor personal injury”, raises the maximum non-pecuniary damages
recoverable by those suffering a “minor personal injury”, and sets out a process for annually
indexing the monetary cap for inflation. At the June 30, 2015 valuation, reform adjustments
(originally introduced with the June 30, 2014 valuation) were explicitly taken into account with the
updated industry trend analysis (completed using industry data as at December 31, 2014), impacting
the selection of ultimates.
Nova Scotia Bill 86, known as the “Fair Auto Insurance Reforms” (FAIR) was introduced on
November 9, 2011. FAIR was implemented in two phases. Regulations related to FAIR Phase I
(effective April 1, 2012) were published in the Royal Gazette Part 11, on January 13, 2012. These
include provisions for: enhanced mandatory benefits under Section B (these include medical,
Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 11 of 103
rehabilitation, funeral, death and loss of income benefits), prohibiting premium increases if no claim
is made, assistance for volunteer Fire Departments, and periodic review of Auto Insurance Law.
FAIR Phase II (effective April 1, 2013) includes provisions for: diagnostic and treatment protocols
for minor injuries, introduction of direct compensation for property damage, and limited liability and
new priority of pay rules for rental companies. At the June 30, 2015 valuation, reform adjustments
(originally introduced with the June 30, 2014 valuation) were explicitly taken into account with the
updated industry trend analysis (completed using industry data as at December 31, 2014), impacting
the selection of ultimates.
Prince Edward Island Bill 46 (Minor Injury Definition, Pain and Suffering Damages Cap,
Schedule B and DCPD) was introduced into the Legislative Assembly on April 25, 2014 and
received Royal Assent on May 14, 2014. Bill 46 amends the Insurance Act, introducing enhanced
mandatory benefits under Schedule B (these include medical, rehabilitation, funeral, death and loss
of income benefits) and a new section 254.2 that applies to all injuries arising from motor vehicle
accidents occurring on or after October 1, 2014. The new section 254.2 re-defines “minor personal
injury”, raises the maximum non-pecuniary damages recoverable by those suffering a “minor
personal injury”, and sets out a process for annually indexing the monetary cap for inflation. In
addition, Bill 46 includes a new section 254.3 which implements Direct Compensation provisions
for Property Damage and has been proclaimed into force effective October 1, 2015. At the June 30,
2015 valuation, reform adjustments (originally introduced with the June 30, 2014 valuation) were
explicitly taken into account with the updated industry trend analysis (completed using industry data
as at December 31, 2014), impacting the selection of ultimates.
1.5 Ontario FARM Bodily Injury Case Reserve summary
As indicated in section 1.4, a reform adjustment, specifically related to changes in the non-pecuniary
prejudgement interest provisions in Ontario Bill 15 impacting the third party liability - bodily injury
coverage for accident year 2015 and subsequent, was included with the updated Ontario Private
Passenger Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle industry trend analyses (completed using industry data
as at December 31, 2014).
There have now been two conflicting Ontario Superior Court decisions in relation to the application
of prejudgement interest provisions: Carillo v. Rizzo (April 15, 2015) and El-Khodr v. Lackie et al
(July 28, 2015). In the first, the judge ruled that the change to prejudgement interest for non-
pecuniary losses5 from a set level of 5% to the level that applies to pecuniary losses applies
retroactively (i.e. applies to all open claims), whereas in the second, the judge ruled that the change
applies only to claims where notification was provided to the insurer on or after January 1, 2015.
FA’s current view is that the second judgement supersedes the first, and no adjustments have been
made to the provisions for accident years 2014 and prior as a result.
However, individual members may interpret these results differently. To that end, we have included
a table at the top of the next page displaying the Ontario FARM Third Party Liability – Bodily Injury 5 Pecuniary awards are defined on the Ontario Attorney General’s website as “Damages that can be measured in money (i.e., special
damages)” with special damages further defined as “Damages intended to compensate a plaintiff for a quantifiable monetary loss.
Examples of such losses include: lost earnings, medical bills, and repair costs.” In contrast, non-pecuniary awards defined as
“Damages that cannot be measured in money, but nevertheless are compensated for with money (i.e., general damages)” with general
damages further defined as “Damages for non-monetary losses suffered by a plaintiff. These damages are not capable of exact
quantification. Examples of such losses suffered include pain, suffering, and disfigurement.”

Case Reserves (as at December 31, 2014) by accident year as well as projected average duration,
from accident date to projected settlement date, from the December 31, 2014 valuation paid
emergence projection model. No attempt has been made to distinguish case reserves held for
pecuniary versus non-pecuniary losses, nor in estimating the amount of prejudgment interest, if any,
is included in the case reserve estimates.
In the above table, the column “projected avg duration” is an estimate of the number of years from
claim occurrence6 to claim settlement, via summing the average number of years from claim
occurrence to December 31, 2014 (3rd
column) and from December 31, 2014 to settlement (4th
column).

provided the latter to allow actuarial judgement to be applied in estimating the lag between occurrence and reporting.
7Servicing Carriers for the Residual Market are compensated via an initial claims fee paid as a percentage of earned premium. This
fee is retroactively adjusted and settled at age 72 months for each accident year based on the formula as laid out in the Plan of
Operation. The claims fee is meant to cover Servicing Carrier costs for claims management and adjudication except for certain

booked by accident year8. The left chart displays life-to-date indemnity payments, case reserves,
IBNR and the total including actuarial present value adjustments against accident year earned
premium. The right chart shows the associated dollar amounts for the components of the unpaid
claims liabilities and the current projected amount of 2015 full year earned premium (the red hash-
mark line) to provide some perspective.
“M/S” refers to “Member Statement” values – that is, actuarial present value adjustments at the selected discount rate.
The current actuarial present value adjustments balance ($28.6 million – see table immediately
below) represents 15% of the earned premium projected for the full year 2015 (see the upper right
corner of the right chart above). (The change from last month’s actuarial present value adjustments
balance, being a $5.0 million decrease from last month’s $33.6 million balance, reflects both claims
settled in the month and the impact of the June 30, 2015 valuation implementation.) If our current
estimates of the nominal claim liabilities amounts prove to match actual claims payments, the
actuarial present value adjustments will be released into the net operating result over future periods
as the associated claims are settled.
The table to the left breaks down the Member
Statement (M/S) unpaid claims liabilities total into
its component parts. The first four rows of this
table reflect indemnity only as indicated, with the
majority of the unpaid in case reserves. The
unpaid claims fees and allowed claims expenses

categories of claims expenses (first party legal and professional consulting fees as described in the Facility Association’s “Claims

We refer to these fees/expenses collectively as “claims fees and allowed claims expenses” and these are generally NOT included in
this discussion, although reference is made to them from time to time as deemed appropriate. The claims fees and allowed claims
expenses may be reviewed in the valuation process and any associated changes in unpaid amounts are reflected in the Participation
Report. The collective provision for the claims fees and allowed claims expenses is referred to as the “Retro Claims” provision and is
presented in Table 02b in section 2.2.
8The loss ratio chart has been limited to show the most recent 20 accident years; the unpaid provision chart has been limited to show
the most recent 20 accident years, and show all accident years older than 20 years collectively as “PRIOR”.

Claims activity varies monthly in part due to “process variance” – that is, due to the nature of the
claims reporting, recording and adjudication processes. Each month, the projection variances are
reviewed for signs of projection bias and to identify potential ways to reduce the level of the
variance.
2.1.a Actual vs. Projected (AvsP): Earned Premium
The charts immediately below show actual earned premium10
in each of the most recent 25
calendar months, along with a “prior 24-month average” to show how each month’s actual compare
with the average amount of the preceding 24 calendar months.
FARM Actual Earned Premium by Calendar Month
Earned premium changes during a given calendar month in relation to prior accident years tend to
be at modest levels (January 2015 being unusual in the left table above).
The associated variance between the actual changes and the projections from the previous month are
shown in the charts at the top of the next page. Earned premium change projections are all
attributed to the current accident year as the projection upload does not accept earned premium
changes for other accident years. We do not see this limitation as being significant for our purposes,
but it does mean that the actual less projection variance will equal the actual earned premium
change in relation to prior accident years.
FARM Actual vs. Projected Summary: Earned Premium Variances by Calendar Month
10Premium is earned on a daily basis based on the transaction term measured in days. As a result, months with 31 days earned
relatively more than those with 30 days, and February earns the least.
Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 16 of 103
Our admittedly simple approach to projecting
earned premium changes from projected
written premium levels (and uploading all
projections as current accident year (CAY)) does
not seem to be biased (ignoring the prior
accident years’ (PAYs) variances) and it does
appear to generate variances within the prior 24-
month standard deviation better than as indicated by a normal distribution (see table at the bottom
left of the prior page). That said, it is likely that some additional improvement could be achieved
(particularly with respect to reflecting the number of days in the month – February variances in
particular are impacted by the implicit assumption currently used that all months have an equal
number of days for earnings). Over time, we may consider other projection approaches to narrow
monthly variance (for example, we use a different approach for the Risk Sharing Pools which seems
to perform better in magnitude, although it does seem to show bias as well).
2.1.b AvsP: Recorded Indemnity
The charts immediately below show actual recorded indemnity activity (paid indemnity plus case
changes) in each of the most recent 25 calendar months, along with a “prior 24-month average” to
show how each month’s actual compares with the average amount of the preceding 24 calendar
months.
FARM Actual Recorded Indemnity by Calendar Month
Recorded indemnity activity variances from the previous month’s projections are shown in the
charts immediately below, including the “prior 24-month standard deviation” levels.

Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 17 of 103
The prior accident years’ recorded indemnity
variances (chart on bottom left of the prior page)
over the entire period shown provides evidence
of bias (actuals tend to be lower than our
projections). This continues to be monitored,
although we have not been able to identify any
particular source of bias to-date (we project at a
more granular level – i.e. jurisdiction, business segment, and accident year). That said, the variances
have fallen outside of the period’s standard deviation 24% of the time (see table above); as this is
(somewhat) below the percentage indicated by the normal distribution, it suggests the projection
process performs a little better than simply projecting based on the previous 24-month average.
The current accident year’s recorded indemnity variances (chart on bottom right of the prior page)
over the period has not indicated a systemic bias overall and with monthly variances falling outside
of the period standard deviation 4% of the time, the projection process appears to perform better than
simply projecting based on the previous 24-month average.
The method for establishing IBNR adjusts automatically for changes in earned premium and
recorded indemnity activity level (see sections 2.2 and 3).
We have included, for reference, additional charts immediately below related to levels influencing
recorded indemnity activity.
FARM Levels that influence11
Recorded Indemnity by Calendar Month
11Our recorded indemnity projections for the prior accident years are based on selected ratios of recorded indemnity to beginning
unpaid balances, whereas the current accident year projections are based on selected ratios of year-to-date IBNR to year-to-date
selected ultimate indemnity (i.e. selected LR x earned premium), deriving year-to-date recorded as selected ultimate less IBNR. In
both cases, ratio selection is based on consideration of recent recorded indemnity levels and AvsP analyses.
Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 18 of 103
We track beginning prior accident years’ IBNR as recorded indemnity activity “comes out of”
IBNR. Changes in the prior accident years’ beginning IBNR (see upper left chart within the group
of charts immediately above) occur for several possible reasons:
to offset actual recorded indemnity activity (through loss ratio matching);
the annual switchover as a current accident year becomes a prior accident year (occurs in
January); and
when a new valuation is implemented, where the valuation resulted in changes to the
selection of prior accident years’ ultimate (will show up as a beginning IBNR change one
month after the valuation is implemented, i.e. the change will generally show in April, June,
September, and November).
2.1.c AvsP: Paid Indemnity
The charts immediately below show actual paid indemnity activity in each of the most recent
25 calendar months, along with a “prior 24-month average” to show how each month’s actual
compares with the average amount of the preceding 24 calendar months.
FARM Actual Paid Indemnity by Calendar Month
The charts immediately below show actual less projected paid indemnity activity for the last 25
calendar months, along with bands for the “prior 24-month standard deviations” to show how the
variances from projection compare with historical standard deviations.

Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 19 of 103
The prior accident years’ paid indemnity
variances (chart on bottom left of prior page)
over the entire period shown provides evidence
of bias (actuals tend to be lower than our
projections). Note that over the most recent four
months where actuals have come in below our
projections, actuals are lower than the
corresponding month in 2014 – this is also true of the ratio we key off of for projecting PAYs paid
indemnity (paid to beginning unpaid). At this point, we do not believe this is necessarily a trend, but
it is something we will continue to monitor.
That said, the variances have fallen outside of the period’s standard deviation 16% of time (see table
to left) and as this is fewer than indicated by the normal distribution, it suggests the projection
process performs better than simply projecting based on the previous 24-month average.
The current accident year paid indemnity variances have fallen outside of one standard deviation of
the preceding 24-month period approximately 8% of the time, suggesting that the projection process
performs better than simply projecting based on the prior 24-month average. However, there is
evidence of bias (actuals have tended to be higher than our projections) and we are looking for
sources of this bias in order to address it.
We have included, for reference, additional charts immediately below related to levels influencing
paid indemnity activity.
FARM Levels that influence12
Paid Indemnity by Calendar Month
12Our projections for the prior accident years are based on selected ratios of paid indemnity to beginning unpaid balances, whereas the
current accident year projections are based on selected ratios of year-to-date paid indemnity to year-to-date selected ultimate
indemnity (i.e. selected LR x earned premium). In both cases, ratio selection is based on consideration of recent paid indemnity levels
and AvsP analyses.

We track beginning prior accident years’ unpaid balance (case and IBNR) as paid indemnity activity
“comes out of” the unpaid balance. Changes in the prior accident years’ beginning unpaid balance
(see upper left chart above) occur for several possible reasons:
to offset actual paid indemnity activity (may reduce case or IBNR or both);
the annual switchover as a current accident year becomes a prior accident year (occurs in
January); and
when a new valuation is implemented, where the valuation resulted in changes to the
selection of prior accident years’ ultimate (will show up as a beginning unpaid balance
change one month after the valuation is implemented, i.e. the change will generally show in
April, June, September, and November).
2.2 Actuarial Provisions
An “ultimate loss ratio matching method” (described in section 3) is now used to determine the
month’s IBNR13
for accident years 1994 and later (IBNR is kept at $0 for accident years 1993 and
earlier).
Factors are applied to the nominal unpaid claims liability (case plus IBNR – for indemnity only) to
determine the discount amount (shown as a negative value to indicate its impact of reducing the
liability) and the Provisions for Adverse Deviations.
The loss ratios and the factors used to determine the actuals were based on the latest valuation
(June 30, 2015 for all jurisdictions). The table immediately below summarizes variances in
provisions included in the August 2015 Participation Report and the associated one-month
projections from last month’s Report.
FARM Actual vs Projected Summary: IBNR and APV Amounts ($ thousands)
The IBNR provision is $5.2 million lower than projected from last month, counterbalancing the
recorded claims activity and earned premium variance impacts indicated in section 2.1, and due to
the valuation implementation.
Exhibit G shows the accident year IBNR amount change from last month to this month broken down
into:
(i) the change projected last month;
13For ease of discussion, “IBNR” is used in place of “provisions for incurred but not recorded (IBNR) and development”.
Actuarial Highlights – Residual Market
Participation Report August 2015
Page 21 of 103
(ii) the additional change due to variances in earned premium (because we apply a loss ratio to
earned premium in determining ultimate level) and/or recorded claims (as IBNR is
calculated as ultimate less recorded) differences; and
(iii) the additional change due to valuation implementation impacts (as applicable)
The variances associated with (ii) above are discussed in sections 2.1.a and 2.1.b.
In addition to the provisions for indemnity amounts, provisions are established for certain
adjustments to Servicing Carrier claims fees and for certain reimbursable legal and professional
claims adjudication fees which we refer to as “allowed claims expenses” (see footnote 7 on page 12).
The table immediately below summarizes the variances in these “Retro Claims Provisions” included
in the August 2015 Participation Report and the one-month projections from last month’s Report.
The variances reflect earned premium variances by jurisdiction, and variances in payments for
allowed claims expenses relative to projections, as well as the valuation implementation.
FARM Actual vs. Projected Summary: “Retro Claims Provision”14
and APV Amounts ($ thousands)
The table immediately below summarizes the variances in the provisions for the deferred policy
acquisition cost amounts (the FARM overall remains in a deferred asset position) included in the
August 2015 Participation Report and the one-month projections from last month’s Report. The
variances are mainly driven by the unearned premium balance variance (at the jurisdiction level),
and the valuation implementation.
FARM Actual vs. Projected Summary: Premium Deficiency / (DPAC) Amounts ($ thousands)

managing and adjudicating claims on behalf of the Facility Association.

3 Ultimate Loss Ratio Matching Method
An “ultimate loss ratio matching method” continues to be applied to the current month and two
projected months shown in the Participation Reports, with IBNR determined by accident year (for
accident years 1994 and on) as follows:
(a) Earned premium to date
(b) Ultimate loss15
ratio per latest valuation
(c) Estimated ultimate incurred = (a) x (b)
(d) Recorded indemnity to date
(e) IBNR = (c) – (d)
IBNR for accident years 1993 and earlier is kept at $0. For the two projected months, IBNR was
determined in a similar way, incorporating the two-month projections of earned premiums and
recorded indemnity. Prior to actuarial present value adjustments, any expected emergence of
recorded claims amounts pertaining to “prior accident years”16
during the two-month projection
period is assumed to be offset by changes in IBNR. Furthermore, the implied ultimate loss ratios
pertaining to each accident year (including the current accident year) are the same in the current
month as in the two projected months.
A similar approach is used in determining the part of the “Retro Claims Provisions” in relation to the
allowed claims expenses. That is, an ultimate “ratio” is determined akin to the “loss ratio”, and the
provision is set following a process as outlined above.
4 Calendar Year-to-Date Results
The table immediately below summarizes the calendar year-to-date results for indemnity as well as
Servicing Carrier claims fees & allowed claims expenses. In determining the ratios to earned
premium, the calendar year-to-date earned premium has been used, which includes earned premium
associated with the current accident year but also earned premium adjustments related to prior
accident years.
FARM Calendar Year-to-Date Indemnity, Claims Fees & Allowed Claims Expense Summary ($ thousands)
(“% EP” based on 2014 calendar year-to-date earned premium; ratios may not total due to rounding)
The loss ratio change year-to-date in Table 04 reflects not only changes in the prior accident year
levels, but also the increase in the calendar year-to-date earned premium with an additional month’s
earned premium, and the valuation implementation.
For the current accident year, changes in the year-to-date total reflect the additional month’s
exposure and regular changes to actuarial present value adjustments as the year ages, and the
15“Loss” here refers to indemnity only unless otherwise noted.
16 “Prior accident years” and the “current accident year” are defined relative to the calendar year associated with the projection period.

5 Current Participation Report – Additional Exhibits
Section 6 provides exhibits pertaining to the actuarial provisions reflected in the current month’s
Participation Report.
IBNR (including actuarial present value adjustments) presented in section 6, Exhibit A, were derived
on a discounted basis, and therefore reflect the time value of money and includes explicit provisions
for adverse deviations in accordance with accepted actuarial practice in Canada.
IBNR presented in section 6, Exhibit B, does NOT include any actuarial present value adjustments.
The “Total IBNR” from this exhibit is shown in the Participation Report as “Undiscounted IBNR”.
As discussed in section 3, IBNR in the current month’s Participation Report was derived as the
difference between the estimated ultimate for the claims amount (i.e. earned premium x ultimate loss
ratio) and the associated current recorded amounts (life-to-date payments plus current case reserves).
